Giving Childhood Back
We grew up arguing over toys.
They grow up fighting for breath.
We complained about dinners.
They wait for medicine.
We dreaded bedtime.
They dread the night because pain doesn’t switch off.
Somewhere in the world right now, a child is missing out on the most basic human right of all — a safe, joyful childhood.
And that’s something we can change.
I’m swimming 8km in March for GOSH Charity!
I’m challenging myself to swim 8km this March to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).
Childhood is special. It should be a time of joy, wonder, curiosity and fun. Of making friends, making mistakes, and growing into the adults we become. But it’s also fragile, and sometimes all too brief.
That’s why Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raises funds to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. For the children from all over the UK who are treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital every day, for children with rare or complex illnesses everywhere, for this generation and all those to come. Because no childhood should be lost to serious illness.
And with every kilometre I swim, and every pound raised, we’ll be helping to give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.
Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.

He floated like a duck, dove like he was free, Strutting ‘round the pool with that Ali energy. He splashed through the lanes with a champion’s flair, While the others were still fumbling with swim caps and hair Go Get It.
